fieri religionem tuam et meam et in Ecclesia pari forma nos
vivere_. _Spec._ 27b. The echo of this attempt is found in
Thierry d'Apolda, _Vie de S. Dominique_ (A. SS., Augusti, t. i.,
p. 572 d): _S. Dominicus in oscula sancta ruens et sinceros
amplexus, dixit: Tu es socius meus, tu curres pariter mecum,
stemus simul, nullus adversarius prævalebit_. Bernard of Besse
says: _B. Dominicus tanta B. Francisco devotione cohesit ut
optatam ab eo cordam sub inferiori tunica devotissimi cingeret,
cujus et suam Religionem unam velle fieri diceret, ipsumque pro
sanctitate cæteris sequendem religiosis assereret._ Turin MS.,
102b.

March 30, 1218, enumerates the possessions of the Dominicans.
